A mercenary knight

Your name is Roland Ironwood, third son of the rich and powerful Duke Ironwood. Many across the kingdom envy your status as the son of a nobleman, with all the privileges associated with it, but as the third son, you were always last in line when it came to using your mother, sisters, or any of the female staff of the castle. You had little in terms of money or responsibility, but what you did have was your training as a knight, your weapons, horse, and armor, and your enhanced body, a gift from a sorcerer you did a favor for. With those tools in hand, you set out in the world to make your fortune, bidding farewell to your family and gathering a small group of followers. It doesn't take long before you find a patron willing to buy your services.
